It is often said that the first industrial revolution happened in Britain, but when the first industrial revolution happened, Britain did not know about the industrial revolution.

They were completely unaware that in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries in Britain, the first industrial revolution unprecedented in human history was unfolding before their eyes.

And this industrial revolution happened to be triggered by the rural industrialization movement in England from the 17th century to the middle of the 18th century.

It was only later that the British Industrial Revolution, which was detonated by the primitive industrialization of the countryside, was perceived and realized by a few perceptive political economists such as Marx and Engels.

Equally.

In the 80s, China was still poor and backward, and the vast majority of the population was concentrated in the countryside.

No one has been able to keenly grasp or realize the far-reaching historical and economic significance of this wave of rural industrialization.

Around 88 years ago, China was already on the verge of detonating the industrial revolution, but it did not attract the slightest attention from economists and media at home and abroad.

And China's greatest chief designer saw the phenomenon accurately.

Zhu Gaochi also discovered Zhu Di's unhappiness, and also knew where his unhappiness came from, so he explained seriously.

"The birth of China Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. has been completed for less than two years, and although it has developed rapidly, it still does not have the ability to take care of everyone."

"At present, the goal of China Heavy Industry is still mainly military households, supplemented by craftsmen, so for the people, the existence of these workshops is needed."

"Absorb the surplus labor force in the rural areas, promote productivity, and create a steady stream of power for the road to industrialization."

Zhu Di said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't it unfair? ”

Zhu Di talked about fairness, but Zhu Gaochi didn't think it was ridiculous.

If you think it's absurd, it's because of a misunderstanding of Shinong and business.

Shinong Industry and Commerce.

From "Guanzi", "The four people of Shinong, industry and commerce, and the stone people of the country".

The four people of Shinong, industry and commerce are the pillars of the country.

Guan Zhong believes that there are four advantages of the division of the four people's industries: first, "talking to each other and showing each other to be skillful", people in the same industry live together, it is easy to exchange experience and improve skills;

The second is to "talk to each other for profit, show each other for time", and "show each other to know the price", which has a great effect on promoting the production and circulation of commodities;

the third is to create a professional atmosphere, so that the people are content with their own business, so as not to "see foreign objects and move", thus causing the instability of the profession;

Fourth, it is necessary to create a good social and educational environment invisibly, so that children can be exposed to it from an early age and naturally master professional skills under the influence of their parents and brothers.

No matter how some people in later generations interpret it literally as a hierarchy, and no matter how the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties changed, at least Guan Zhong's original meaning is not to divide the noble and the low.

The ancient Greek thinker Plato divided the people into three classes in the Ideal Republic: the first class was the philosopher, the second class was the warrior, and the third class was the merchants, craftsmen, and peasants.

In the Ming Dynasty, the status of scholars was indeed the highest, after all, they were officials.

Therefore, the Western missionaries at the end of the Ming Dynasty called the Ming Dynasty an ideal country.

But this is because of the difference caused by the status of the society, not the artificial division, just like the phenomenon of the rich having a little three, which cannot be interpreted as social support for the little three.

Zhu Di believes that as a ruler, he should treat the people equally, regardless of relatives and relatives, and is dissatisfied with the boss's approach.

"There are too many farmers in Daming." Zhu Gaochi said softly.

Daming's urban population, at its peak, was less than 10 percent.

Britain relied on a century and a half of rural economic prosperity to support the market born by the Industrial Revolution.

So how to complete the industrial revolution in one generation, first of all, the development of the rural economy in a century and a half is a problem that cannot be bypassed.

The fruit of the natural development of Britain from the bottom up requires a long time and unique conditions.

And from top to bottom, it requires superb wrists, and ordinary people can't play it.

It is inseparable from the development of industry and the stimulation of surplus labor in rural areas.

In the following 78 to 88 years, China's township enterprises changed from 1.5 million to 18.9 million, providing nuclear power for industrialization.

Zhonghua Heavy Industry solves the problem of military households, while workshops solve the problems of civilian households.

Two roads for heavy industry and light industry.

China Heavy Industries creates consumption, stimulates consumption, drives the private economy, and the development of the private economy absorbs the rural population.

It is equivalent to China Heavy Industry has become an incubator for the workshop economy, providing the principal for the workshop economy, and relying on these principals, the workshop economic cycle has started and rolled bigger and bigger.

Otherwise, relying on the size of China Heavy Industry alone, it will only increase the industrial population by 5 to 10 percent at most in the future.

The most important thing is that if Zhu Gaochi wants to complete the road to industrialization with one generation, he must be inseparable from the workshop economy.

"Do you just ignore it? Artificial division? Zhu Di understood the difficulties of the eldest son, but still felt that it was not a long-term solution.

"When the machine makes the machine, it's solved."

"Machines make machines?"

"China Heavy Industries currently belongs to the first stage, the stage of machine production of goods." This was characteristic of the first revolutionary revolution.

Zhu Gaochi explained: "When machines produce machines, it belongs to the second stage, and when the productive forces of society reach this point, social resources can be redistributed. ”

Machines produce machines, which is characteristic of the Second Industrial Revolution.

Between the ninety-five years and the millennium, the country was at the threshold of the second industrial revolution.

Once the first and second industrial revolutions are detonated in the right order, their ability to reproduce and profit on their own is something that no financial crisis can stop.

It was also the key reason why the world could not stop China's rise in those years.

Whether it was the Asian financial crisis in '97 or the world financial crisis in '07, China's total exports were permanently reduced by nearly 40 percent compared with its growth trend, and they could not stop China's development.

Just like the United States in the nineteenth century, after 15 financial crises and a four-year civil war, these did not prevent the United States from developing vigorously into the next world production center and superpower.

This is not because of America's so-called superiority of knowledge, as the economists of knowledge boast about.

Rather, it is because the United States has learned from the successful experience of the British Industrial Revolution and, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, has adopted a correct and orderly development strategy from primitive industrialization to light industrialization to heavy industrialization.

The same is true for China, on the right path, those powers have taken countless measures together, but in the end they have not stopped China's economic take-off.

"Machines make machines." Zhu Di understands every word, but when they are combined, he seems to understand it, but he feels incomprehensible.

His face was dazed, and suddenly, he felt that it was really a bit boring to discuss the way of economics with his eldest son.

Daming likes prodigies, and prodigies are sought after in the Ming Dynasty.

Although his eldest son is not a prodigy, he is a late bloomer, and the youth shines, which also makes Zhu Di very proud.

He no longer forced himself to understand the boss's economic theory, and commanded: "The economic economy must not only develop the economy, but also take into account the people's livelihood, and we need to know how to love the people like children." ”

"Son, remember."

Zhu Gaochi responded.

Loving the people like a son is to be abandoned in the future generations, including the bridge section of blocking the road and kowtowing to worship the master of the blue sky, which is all alarming dross.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, rulers did have to possess this quality, and Confucianism strongly demanded that rulers behave in this way.

Just like the talented Hai Rui, all the people are willing to kneel to him, reluctant to let him leave, and hope that he will stay in the local area as an official forever.

30,000 sets of clothes, and the follow-up 10,000 sets, if in Yingtianfu, with the textile capacity of the Jianghuai area, it may be completed in ten days and half a month.

But in Beiping, it did make the workshop owners happy and painful.

I am also worried that there will be fewer orders after recruitment, and I am unwilling to miss this opportunity, so it is difficult to make up my mind.

And I don't know when, from time to time, some customers come to the door and want to buy a few ready-to-wear clothes.

Some workshop owners keenly seized this opportunity and began to try to produce other styles of clothes, such as beautiful dresses such as flowers and daughters.

One day on a holiday, Xiao Jiu and his co-workers went into the city to go shopping, hesitated, and entered a clothing store.

Under the warm hospitality of the guys, Xiao Jiu bought nine sets of skirts in one go.

"What are you buying so many clothes for?"

"Two sets of sister-in-law, two sets of sister-in-law, two sets of mothers, and three sets of sisters." Xiao Jiu carried the burden and said to the workers.

The co-worker knew that Xiao Jiu's income was high, so he didn't dare to compare with him, so he only bought one set with his mother-in-law and daughter.

Soon.

This ready-to-wear shop has hung up a lot of beautiful ready-to-wear clothes, and in his spare time making overalls for China Heavy Industries, he specializes in making women's clothing.

Inspired by the factory, it also combines traditional clothing to make more clothes that are not less conservative and more sophisticated.

More and more people came to buy, and even the ladies of the eunuch house in the city heard about the fame of this place and made an appointment to give it a try.

With one to get rich, soon there was a second, a third.

In a highly competitive environment, some began to pursue cheapness, some began to pursue quality, and some began to pay attention to style.

Zhu Yuanzhang's will, the common people want to plant a variety of mulberry trees, grow hemp cotton, and want to make the households self-sufficient and achieve food and clothing.

Peasants who have five to ten acres of land should plant half an acre of mulberry numb cotton, and those who have more than 10 acres of land should be doubled, and those who have more fields should think that it is worse

After the unification of the country, this decree was extended to the whole country, requiring the people to grow mulberry, jujube, persimmon and cotton.

But these did not flow into the market.

Including military uniforms, the Ming Dynasty used the situation of service to let the people make military uniforms for free, which not only failed to produce economic benefits, but also suffered from it.

When China Heavy Industries puts tens of thousands of garment orders into the market every year, it provides a driving force for the development of the textile industry.

Relying on this cornerstone, the textile industry in Beiping developed rapidly, and a dazzling array of clothing promoted people's consumption.

The middle and upper class rulers, such as the royal palace, have their own six bureaus, but the middle and lower class wealthy have this demand and spending power.

In addition, the 10,000 and thousands of workers of China Heavy Industries, who themselves wore neat clothes and received rich wages, could not let the family wear tattered.

When one family buys, the rest of the workers will compare, and then they will follow suit, and the desire to consume is born.
